| BY CHANCE... Anyone out there know off hand, what type of bolt head might be on the through-bolt that holds the front brake calpiers together on a late 90's Subaru Impreza or a 2005 Chevy Impala? Would it be "off base" to call the dealer service center and ask? | |
Took my car in today for oil change and decided to have them adjust the emergency brake while it was there. Was told that there is NO adjustment on the emeregency brake. Have any of you heard this? I can't understand how the system compensates for wear. Thoughts? Thanks in advance. Clark

Just got new Bendix Rear pads & rotors on my 04 Impala and the next day there was an annoying humming noise from one of the wheels but I can't tell which wheel, it happens loudest at 20 mph and goes away when I accelerate. When slowing down it comes back, but seems to be low humming constantly today. Is there a problem with the new pads and rotors? Also, it rained the night I got them installed and the next day they were full of rust! |

Apply and fully release the parking brake six times. 2. Verify that the parking brake pedal releases completely. -Turn ON the ignition.

Remove the slack in the front parking brake cable by pulling downward on the cable. 3. Raise and suitably support the vehicle. Refer to Vehicle Lifting. 4. Remove the rear tire and wheel assemblies. 5. Remove both rear caliper brackets. 6. Relieve tension on the park brake system at the park brake equalizer. 7. Remove both rear brake rotors. 8.

I just got 2001 Impala LS 3.8L 144K,2 weeks ago. When I took the test drive, I felt a noise when I push the brake all the way down. However, when I double checked the noise was gone, so I just thought I felt something that did not exsit. Three days before, when I drove in the snow, the noise came up again when I push brake quickly with a very slight trembling. It seems that I can feel the break pad touch the disc. Is there anyone have the same problem? and how do you fix it. Thank you!
